This suite is a mixture of African and Afro-Caribbean dances, performed in traditional and contemporary styles.

Capturing the spirit of the people, the dance is a mélange of styles bringing out the energetic and colorful blend of the Afro-Caribbean.

Marcia Griffiths @ West Jet Stage

In a genre traditionally dominated by male artists, Marcia Griffiths is arguably the best-known and most influential woman in the history of reggae. Griffiths first made a name for herself when the music was still evolving from its roots in ska and rocksteady, and she later became an ally of reggae's signature artist, Bob Marley, before embracing the electronic-based sounds of dancehall and funk in the 1980s.

Time:  9:30p - 11:00p
